    Hey there! I believe you'd be better off changing your local hosts file, as the IP/~username may not always follow everything setup on the machine. Can you try this instead to see if that gives you better results?

    The changes outlined in that document are made on the local computer, and aren't related to the server. It's just to tell your local machine that the DNS for the domain is somewhere custom from what the public DNS shows.

    Yes, but instead of visiting with IP/~username you would just be able to visit domain.com, and then Apache would handle the document root properly. If you check the Apache configuration manually at /etc/apache2/conf/http.conf, do you see the document root has been updated there?

    That's correct - that work doesn't change the IP address of the domain, but just tricks your local machine into thinking the domain uses a different IP for short-term testing.

    While we don't support changing it for newly-created accounts, you can use the details in the article here to manually change the docroot:
